yancc: A GPU-accelerated, differentiable solver for neoclassical transport in tokamaks and stellarators

Rory Conlin, Matt Landreman

We present yancc, a new GPU-accelerated solver for the drift kinetic equation that computes neoclassical transport fluxes, flows, and currents in tokamaks and stellarators. The dri…

Bayesian optimization of stellarator alpha-particle confinement using data-informed parameter spaces and dimensionality reduction

Matt Landreman, Michael Czekanski, Andrew Giuliani +2

Modern stellarators are typically designed by optimizing the shape of the plasma boundary surface, with the parameters taken to be Fourier amplitudes. Many promising optimization a…

Deflation Techniques for Stellarator Equilibrium and Optimization

Dario Panici, Byoungchan Jang, Rory Conlin +3

Stellarator optimization is a multi-objective, non-convex problem characterized by a complex objective landscape containing many local minima. The solution resulting from a single…

Narrow Operator Models of Stellarator Equilibria in Fourier Zernike Basis

Timo Thun, Rory Conlin, Dario Panici +1

Numerical computation of the ideal Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium magnetic field is at the base of stellarator optimisation and provides the starting point for solving more…

Exponential Spectral Scaling: Robust and Efficient Stellarator Boundary Optimization via Mode-Dependent Scaling

Byoungchan Jang, Rory Conlin, Matt Landreman

Stellarator boundary optimization faces a fundamental numerical challenge: the extreme disparity between low- and high-mode amplitudes creates an optimization landscape in which di…

Surface Current Optimization and Coil-Cutting Algorithms for Stage-Two Stellarator Optimization

Dario Panici, Rory Conlin, Rahul Gaur +8

Stellarator optimization often takes a two-stage approach, where in the first stage the boundary is varied in order to optimize for some physics metrics, while in the second stage…
